Computer supported laboratory reports of experimental work

Reports on experimental work should be based on a well-documented laboratory report. With the laboratory report we mean the logbook, kept during the experiments. Making such a laboratory report is an important part of the practical courses at our Electrical Engineering faculty in Twente. Nowadays our students write their report on paper. We consider the option to write it directly on the computer so that it can be integrated with managing the measurement results. Doing this however will pose severe requirements to the user friendliness of the software environment. In this paper the idea of an integrated computer environment for doing experimental work is discussed, together with some problems

History of the media in Central and Eastern Europe

This chapter discusses the recent history of the media in four former communist countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania, and Poland) in Central and Eastern Europe, with a focus on the transfer of media institutions and culture from “old” to “young” democracies.
